The Gold Seat is up and running.
2007-02-03 10:16:01 I'm pleased to announce The Gold Seat blog is now part of MN sports lore.It's been seven years in the making but it's finally here. I hope now we can all rant and rave about the things that we really care about. What started as a HR to send the world series to Game 7 in 1991 is now the foundation and inspiration for a whole new generation of sports insights.Although there were no championships in 2006, 2007 is a new year. And hey Chicago Sox fans (that includes you AJ), at least we made the playoffs.I hope this is the first post of many, many more to come. Enjoy. More About: Running , The Go , The G
Once Again Stuck With Pick #7
2007-02-03 10:16:01 Is there anything more frustrating than being forced to make a reach with pick 7? The problem with this pick is that it does the Vikings no good. If we're looking to grab a WR with the pick, (what are we the Lions?) and a player like Johnson from GT isn't available, then we've given up the value of the 7th pick. The WR's available could be had in the 10-20 range, they aren't 7th overall type players.I know our fellow co-author Brad is all about the Sooner RB, but we just gave Chester some cash.It may not be flashy like taking a Jarrett, but taking one of the three DE available might be the best choice. The defense is solid. I say draft a pass rusher, sign a free agent pass rusher and sign a free agent WR. That way you know what you're getting at the flanker position. Not just some really fast guy who everyone forgot to check if he could even catch. If that's what we're going for, go start scouting the Santa Monica Track Club.It...

Highlight of the Week?
2007-02-03 10:16:01 The past week has been quite a roller-coaster of emotion for the Timberwolves; and their fans. At times we looked like the next coming of "Larry the Legend" and the Celtics or "Magic" and the Lakers; at other times, however, my favorite team looked more like... well... the timberwolves I have been watching for the last 15 years. Last Saturday night marked a momentus occasion--the Timberwolves won on the road and in the second game of a back-to-back! To make things even more sweet, the victory came against Sammy C (a.k.a. the love we lost) and the Clips. They then carried the emotion of that once-in-a-blue-moon accomplishment by buring the best team in the league by 9 points at home on Monday. Nobody beats the Suns... nobody! As I am writing this the Suns are wrapping up a 15 point win against the immortal San Antonio Spurs.Unfortunitely that is not where the story ends. Did I mention that the "momentus...

We Have The MVP for 1 More Year
2007-02-03 10:16:01 I'll take it. One more year with the M&M boys.Morneau agrees to $4.5 million deal, avoids arbitrationI love the Morneau quote from the following story out of NY Times:REYES APPEARS IN COMMERCIAL At 8:45 a.m. yesterday, Mets shortstop José Reyes sat shivering on a sidewalk in Greenwich Village. Next to him was Twins starting pitcher Johan Santana, who was grilling a hamburger. It was about 20 degrees outside, and the wind chill made it seem like the low teens.So what were Reyes and Santana doing there? Along with five other players — Minnesota’s Justin Morneau, Detroit’s Justin Verlander, Boston’s Jonathan Papelbon, St. Louis’s David Eckstein and the Yankees’ Robinson Canó — they were filming a commercial for new baseball caps under the direction of Spike Lee.The hats, manufactured by New Era, are designed to absorb sweat more efficiently, and they have a new black underside to the bill intended to reduce glare.

How Much Longer?
More articles from this author:2007-02-03 10:16:01 The Wolves dropped another game tonight at Oklahoma City. How much longer will Kevin put up with the losing? Do we rebuild around him again or do we start over and trade him? I don't think he'll want to wait around for another 2-3 years to make a run again.With the Suns, Spurs and Mavericks around the West won't be getting easier anytime soon.One can only image what a Garnett/Iverson or Garnett/Ray Allen duo would do. Kevin needs the guy who can put up 30 pts/night on a consistent basis. Ricky Davis isn't exactly that guy, although he can have good nights.I was at the Wolves-Jazz game a couple weeks back and watched in awe as Davis went off. He can take over games...when he's hot. But you need more than the 30 pts every 4th game.I just don't know how much longer Kevin can wait around for that superstar combo chemistry like what we had in 3 yrs ago. mn+wolves kevin+garnett timberwolves More About: Much , Long 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
